When asked why she and the actor decided to part ways, Rimando said both of them wanted to focus on their respective careers. Despite ending the relationship, she said she still had “full support” for her now ex-boyfriend.

However, she chose to remain silent on the rumors of Atayde being linked to “Eat Bulaga” mainstay Maine Mendoza.

Atayde and Mendoza have been spotted together having a dinner date in a Makati City restaurant, as reported by the Philippine Entertainment Portal in October.

Recently, speculations arose that the rumored couple vacationed in Bali, Indonesia. An Instagram post of Mendoza riding down a zip line made fans point out that she was indeed on the trip with the actor.
